About

I am a third-year Ph.D. candidate at KAIST and doing an internship at Huawei in London . My research focuses on Video Large Language Models, with a particular interest in improving video understanding while making inference faster and more efficient. My prior work has focused on scene understanding in the image/video domains—addressing challenges such as long-tailed distributions and data scarcity—as well as recommender systems.
